📖 Summary of the Story:
Jonah is tasked with making dessert for dinner because his parents are busy. He has never baked before, but his mother left all the ingredients and tools out with a note saying, *"Follow the recipe!"* He decides to make pumpkin pie using the instructions on the can.
He follows each step carefully:
- Preheats the oven to 425°F.
- Removes the frozen pie crust.
- Opens the pie filling and condensed milk, mixes them with two eggs.
- Pours the mixture into the crust — but notices there’s extra filling.
- Bakes the pie as instructed, checking it after 50 minutes with a toothpick.
- When the pie is done, he feels proud of himself.
Then, inspired by the leftover filling, he searches through cookbooks and finds a new recipe to use it up — again, just by following the recipe.
